Replace humphreytalks with any public handle and run. The task reads the creator's recent reels, works out their median views and analyzes the top performers, giving the exact opening line and hook type of each.
How many times a reel's views beat that creator's own median. A reel at 4 got four times their usual views. It is measured from real view counts, so hooks compare fairly across accounts of different sizes.
Open the Hook Board in the run's Output tab. It groups analyzed reels by hook type, format and call to action, and shows how far above the creator's median each group landed on average.
Question, bold claim, negative warning, listicle, story open, result reveal, how-to, contrarian, audience callout, or no hook. The value comes from a fixed list, so you can sort, group and count reels by it.
Yes. Raise the reel limit per handle; this demo stops at 3. Reels beyond the limit are still listed, ranked by views, so you can see what was left out.
No. It reads public reels only, without any login. Reels it cannot read, such as private or deleted ones, come back as free rows with the reason.
